Week 3

HIIIIII!
So in my inbox it says that i got a letter from you guys but when i clicked to read it, nothing showed up :( all i got is something like..."my sweet sean..." but no worries. SOOOOO this week was SICK! I heard 2 apostles in 7 days! elder Richard G. Scott spoke last Tuesday and elder Oaks spoke last night!! elder Scotts talk was THE MOST POWERFUL talk I have ever heard. period. He even blessed all of the new language missionaries. He said "through the power of the apostolic preisthood which I hold, I envoke upon you the gift of tounges"...then he conferred it. It was incredible. the rest of the talk was good too, and elder Oaks talk was great, about being the best missionary you can be. By the way read the article "The Fourth Missionary" by something Cobridge. print it out and send it to Kimi please. I will be the "fouth" missionary. I learned that I can be a good missionary by sacreficing my time, my talents, my life, to the Lord. But I don't want to be a good or great missionary, I want to be a servant. Just as Ammon was, I need/want/am going to not sacrifice all that I have but, consecrate my self. I'll leave it to you to ponder on what that mean. I don't want to just be a missionary, I want to become a missionary. Thanks uncle David for that talk you gave me "Marks of a man"...I will be that missionary. My letters are short cuz im the WORST typer EVER!! and that stupid timer gives me anxiety... haha. But that sounds like you had an awesome week with Dave and Lynn? Anyways i'm happy for you. Thats rad that Alex is coming around the family more. oh and Kyle, WRITE ME BACK!! or email me, I don't really care just do it! dear elders are awesome so send me some, all of you. I loved getting dad's letter in the middle of the week. Mom and dad, you two are solid. thank you so much for raising me the way you did. I did sealings today for the first time!!! it was So RAD the sealer was this super old guy who went on tangents like you wouldn't belive but he taught me a lot. those blessings promised to us are amazing. getting sealed is something that I look forward to. I love my district. my teachers are amazing. the spirit is incredible, and Russian is still a joke, BUT Heavenly Father is helping me SOOOOOOOOOOO much! I love it here, the mission so far has taught me so much. I can't wait to teach people in Russian. I love you all. I know that God lives

(no music aloud). the stupid timer is beeping at me now. the computers in the laundry room were broken so when i tried to log in i got in for a second then it never stopped loading. and ways the timer starts whenever you get on but i want able to write anything! so thats why i had no time today. but if someone would just end me addresses that you think i might want then do it!

Week 1

Mom & Dad!

I have been instructed to write and tell you that everything is OK. So far so good. My comp Elder Fish is AMAZING, I'm very grateful to have him as my comp. Thanks for everything by the way, you guys rock. I'm stressing over the language to be honest. I gfeel like everyone is getting it and I'm getting left behind. I know it's only Day 2 but I still am having trouble with the alphabet and the class has already started reading. A little frustrating b/c I'm trying my best. But no worries, HF has my back. I can already see how the Gift of Tongues truly works. I'll write you on Tuesday b/s that's P-day. But just letting you all (not Y-all) know I'm doing well. I'm humbled for sure.

OH I SAW JAROM THE 1ST DAY!!!

He gave me a candy lei. Anyways, I love you guys and keep an eye on Armita. Good luck in V-ball this week Bro.
